Do y'all ever give away (or sell) test presses of the VMP monthly records or exclusives? Given any thought to putting them up for auction?

Side note: I would be die for a test press of RATM's "Evil Empire" or The Avalanches "Wildflower."

We have a giant pile of them. I know Cam has a bunch. We don't always do TP on exclusives--particularly on ones we just have a color variant for--but I know we have multiple copies of TPs for every ROTM somewhere. Good food for thought.

I have one. Donivan of Blessed Feathers sent me one with a sweet note. They had a random drawing of people who bought stuff from their web store. We cleaned their store out after the AOTM was announced. I was so excited, because I had also somehow guessed it was the AOTM at the midnight hour.

While I like @Skalap's idea of having them randomly inserted into shipments (a la secret 7's) I do think an auction might be a good way to raise money for potential charities. Especially considering that the holidays are just around the corner. Maybe a poll to determine what charities best suit VMP?

Just a thought.

Oh man, that reminds me, around this time last year I started a thread to talk about doing a "forumraiser" for an organization (if we could find one we all agreed on), but I had the mods lock it until I could come back around to it, and never did.
